BUT....knowing that it was Wednesday, and a Thrifty Thursday post was next up...for you, dear readers, I sacrificed my warmth and coziness and ventured out after work yesterday in search of possible Thrifty Thursday finds. I only went to one store and came home with a few finds!
First find, not photographed because boring, was a lovely wooden drying rack for the laundry room for 1.99. I've been needing one..and, well, there it was so I brought it home.
Then...yep............

I tried. I walked away....I backed the cart up...I studied it again...it was lovely...it has the raised mountainous regions! It was straight on it's axis....I could not pass up the $5.99 globe. I am in need of therapy. Also in the pic there, you'll notice a bundle of colorful rulers. These were all bundled together for $.99 so I grabbed them. I've seen many cool projects being done with rulers....figured I best grab then when I see them and then when the creative urge hits...I'll have a great assortment!
Not a very exciting Thrifty Thursday, but hey....did I mention it's faREEEEZING outside?
I was warmed by the sight of a box from Moda Fabrics when I got home. Thank goodness the UPS guy ventures out every day regardless of the temps!
Aaaaaah.....civil war fabrics!
So excited to see Civil War Homefront by Barbara Brackman when I opened the box! I've got four bundles remaining....$89.99, which includes US shipping.
The colors are yummy...the prints very civil-war.....a winning line again! Thank you Barbara Brackman!
I hope you're staying warm and dry wherever you are! I'm hopeful this weather will break and then I'll have some ground to make up for thrifting! It is, however, December......in South Dakota........so I may just have to suck it up, bundle up, and make up for lost thrifting time!
*Peace!

Kim you sure are intrepid! And I agree the raised mountainous regions are a must. Love your quilts too - I bet you are using them all right now!
Stay warm!
oh that fabric line looks wonderful
I remember having a globe like that when I was younger
wonder where that went!
I think you're crazy to go thrifting when there's a wind chill of -22 outside! Nice finds though -- I think your globe collection is fabulous! Those Civil War fabrics -- time to drool! (I'm being good now, or at least trying to!)
It's nice to come home to a bundle of fabric!
Send some of that weather this way! I'd love a couple of snow days but impossible here in Florida!
Oh, am I tempted by that fabric line! I love civil war prints (I must be good she says to herself). I can't believe you ventured out in all the cold and snow but I know how it is to be a diehard shopper! LOL Love the globe and the rulers too!
I love the globes you've been acquiring on your thrifty shopping adventures.
Did you have to send the cold, snow and wind chills to Iowa???
It's pathetic when we think any day about zero is a warm winter day.
Love the thrifty finds! The fabrics--fantastic! I can't wait to see what you do with them!
I love your globes...I could look at maps for hours upon end. Stay warm....and cozy! I'm getting all warm and fuzzy myself just thinking about your beautiful new Moda fabrics!! Hugs and Happy Holidays!
So...where in South Dakota are you? I'm here in Aberdeen...and yes, it is cold for December, isn't it? I think the high tomorrow is supposed to be 3 below...
Have a wonderful holiday season. ~Natalie
